Italian Cookies

A really simple Italian dessert that takes around twenty minutes to prepare. I would suggest you use Almonds if possible. Though they show as optional they do make the recipe just that little bit nicer if added.

3 eggs

1/2 cup orange juice

1 cup sugar

1 cup oil

1 Teaspoon salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

3 3/4 cups flour

2 tbsp. baking powder

almonds chopped (optional)

1) In a large bowl, beat eggs, orange juice, and sugar. Add oil, mix well. Add salt, flour, and baking powder, mix with a wooden spoon. Add vanilla extract and chopped almonds.

2) Shape dough into two 12" half moon logs and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F until golden (about 15 minutes). Remove from oven and let cool for awhile.

3) Cut cookies 1/2 inch thick and re−cook at 450 degrees F until golden on both sides
